GboroRam Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nah I refuse to believe the richest man in the world, who by one estimate seemed to have more cash than the top 100 list put together, could have cash flow problems. I mean, it sounds unbelievable. I know some people doubted his claims of unparalleled wealth but all true tree huggers know that was just sour grapes and they were/are climbing back to the halcyon days. It's true, I believe it all.

Boycie Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's in the culture to try and barter a cost down. Forest only sold 100 tickets to the iPro apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's in the culture to try and barter a cost down. Forest only sold 100 tickets to the iPro apparently. I think they sold first half and second half tickets separately. Only because of the empty seats in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Maybe they gave the tickets to the people they owed money to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Next season is the return of 'Forest are going down with a fiver in the bank'. Fiver in the fridge, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eezzeetiger Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I thought the catering deals were supposed to be they pay the club for the rights to provide the catering? Our pies are that bad, they should also be paying the fans to eat em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Our pies are that bad, even Andy Reid's stopped eating them. Good grief, they must be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowle Rohrer Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Good grief, they must be bad. They are awful, tried them once and never again. To be honest I do not why anyone would buy them considering there are plenty of decent good outlets around the ground which are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowle Rohrer Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Predictions for tomorrow night: Barnsley 1-1 Burnley Blackburn 2-1 QPR Bournemouth 2-0 Reading Charlton 1-0 Yeovil Doncaster 0-1 Bolton Huddersfield 1-1 Ipswich Leicester 3-1 Brighton Middlesbrough 2-1 Birmingham Forest 2-0 Sheff Wed Watford 3-0 Leeds Wigan 3-0 Millwall Blackpool 0-2 Derby Tomorrow really is last chance saloon for us, win and Reading lose and we have a chance. Lansbury and Wilson could well start for us which will help massively and also Reid and Vaughan could be on the bench. If we win and keep those players in for the run in then we can do it. As for you you're all but guaranteed a play-off place and the sooner you can secure it the better so you can start preparing for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Very unpredictable league the Championship. If you get half those right, results never mind correct scores, you'll have done very well. You could make a case for a home win, draw or away win in almost all of them. The exception is probably that Leeds won't win! I suppose with no win in a long time Florest must win at some point but difficult to see it coming tomorrow night. We have a chance at Blackpool largely because they're generally poor and we're rarely poor two games in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Has anybody ever heard of or remember a club having so many stories of financial cock Ups or unpaid bills without eventually being sold or put into administration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I can't feel sorry for them. They've spent so much money, if they get wound-up for not paying their bills, it's just poor administration and quite frankly bad business. Clubs won't want to work with them if they carry on.

CornwallRam Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Has anybody ever heard of or remember a club having so many stories of financial cock Ups or unpaid bills without eventually being sold or put into administration? Forest aren't paying bcause they have no money and rely on The Al-Hasawi family to keep bailing them out. From what I have heard the problem is that Fawaz is not actually fantastically wealthy in his own right. Unfortunately (for comedy purposes) his family are absolutely loaded - and it is the family which actually own the club. It seems that Forest are Fawaz's 'hobby', and he has to ask the family for pocket money to keep things ticking along. Amusingly for us, the little brother's train set does not appear to be a huge priority for the family, so the flow of cash is sporadic. It seems unlikely that the family would allow things to get so bad that Forest would slip into administration - they do really seem to have the cash to back up Fawaz's ambitions, but Forest are being run by an over-grown toddler at present.

davenportram Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 So the reconciling of accounts is Fawaz asking for next months pocket money then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
